So are the Royals concerned addressing the situation signals a point of no return?
"Learn to love yourself. We need more male role models. Check in with yourself."
The BBC has spoken with Prince William about mental health, but should it have asked about Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein instead?

‘If Andrew is implicated in Epstein’s crimes, he needs to be put behind bars”
Virgina Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, praises King Charles for the “pressure” he’s put on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, but calls for a “more thorough investigation” into the former prince.
"No one wakes up being a child rapist and then decides they're not going to do it any more because Jeffrey Epstein is dead," say the family of Virginia Giuffre.

"She's still covering for him"

Pam Bondi says everything in the Epstein files has now been released.
She has comprised a list of all the famous names that appear in the files, but that list “smells absolutely rotten”.
"Bondi is covering for Trump".
"Biden's children are named in her list, but none of Trump's children are – and they are named in the files. It smells absolutely rotten."

It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, sending Prince William to Saudi Arabia while Epstein pressure mounts on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
But did it help to be spending time with another man named multiple times in the Epstein Files?
www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...
"The Royals knew about Epstein's conviction in 2008, they knew Andrew kept seeing him afterwards. He remained a working Royal," says Lewis Goodall.
"They contain, they delay, and they only act when the political pressure is unbearable"
www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...
"We were talking to professionals, no one thought it was a fake," Emily Maitlis says, after Andrew photo was confirmed genuine.
"In denying that the photograph was real, they were rubbishing her. They were rubbishing the victim"

"These women are being put through hell one more time. The rich, always powerful, men have more access to justice than the victims."
